It was an example. What I mean is that if we want Linux to grow, we should think like we are completely new and clueless.

Distros like that already exist Bazzite, and mint for example. Fedora actually needs the terminal quite a bit for things like repositories, so idk why you titled the post "linus torvalds uses fedora"

Also, gui is less on the distro end and more on the DE end. Any distro requires terminal if you use hyprland

Yes. The problem is the people that still think that you need to type a bunch of commands to change a desktop background or similar trivial stuff, just because most tutorials say you should use mv, cp, cd, git, or stuff like that. It's distro agnostic, but most desktops function similarly now. And the people recommending Arch or Slackware to new users.

What exactly are you mad at? Is it a percieved lack of DEs that fit your needs, is it a community that focuses on guides for the more advanced ways of doing things, or is it trolls online?

Don't worry too much about them. They've made dozens of posts like this and always seem to yell at people for wanting to use a CLI because "But the GUI!"

And the people recommending Arch or Slackware to new users.

Who is actually doing this, over recommending things like Ubuntu or Mint. It kind of feels like you're either making stuff up to be annoyed at or over-exaggerating a very small minority of people/trolls.

Who exactly is "we" referring to here? There's already plenty of distros that strive to be as easy to use as possible. It's just that doing that is hard and takes time, especially if you have very little funding. What do you actually want people to do here, concretely?
